The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to take up the constitutionality of President Donald Trump’s order on birthright citizenship declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.
The justices will hear Trump’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that struck down the citizenship restrictions. They have not taken effect anywhere in the country.
The case will be argued in the spring. A definitive ruling is expected by early summer.
Some americans unironically believe that piece of parchment to be almighty, self-evident, irreproachable, and universally revered.
Unfortunately those in power have transferred that belief to Trump. That’s all it took to abolish the rule of law.
